Honest words - King Creosote
[Verse]
EmCrossed out a lyric (to) disGcerned
I rewrote the Asus2start; just a stab at the end
I Emblotted out all that I've Gwrote
rubbed away Asus2distance; I smooth out the false
[Chorus 1]
    Bmand those are honest woGrds
it's the first tiBmme
otherwise I'm told I'm waiting to Dchoke them way down in my Gthroat
those are honest wordsD  G  
[Verse]
BlindEmfolded holding the Gtail
you pushed in your Asus2pin and yet your destined to fail for you...
   Emsuffered three rounds of the Gfight, a cut to the Asus2eye brow, a hook to the right
   Ema jab to the Gtemple
you're back on the Asus2roads smooth out the false
Emnot for a lyric amenGd
a stab at the Asus2start and trite at the end
[Chorus 2]
    GAnd those are honest wBmords
it's the first tiGme
otherwise I'm told, waiting to Dchoke them way down in my Gthroat
those are honest woBmrds
it's the first tiGme
otherwise I'm told waiting to Dchoke them way down in my Gthroat
those are honest woBmrds
it's the first tiGme
otherwise I'm told waiting to Dchoke them way down in my Gthroat
those are honest woBmrdsG  D  
EmCrossed out a lyric (to) disGcerned
I rewrote the Asus2start
